Westerner Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 troll?lonely? dental implant search I'm sure he's aware he can search for dental implants on the web - I think he's asking for recommendations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charma Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 troll?lonely? dental implant search A bit quick to judge don't you think, I'm also curious to know of anyones experiance with dental implants in Thailand. Me too! I need a new tooth and would much rather hear from someone who has had it done than rely on google! Likewise, posters may be able to warn others of any nightmare hospitals they have experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rajpillai Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Couple of months back, a friend of mine had all on 6 immediate implants (full mouth) for about 400k Baht at Bangkok Smile in sukhumvit 21. Mostly rate depends on how many implants you need. Check with them. Rgds, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 Bangkok Smile has spammed this board before and I'd regard that as sufficient reason to avoid the place.http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=59407 oops missed that one. Now departed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary A Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 I don't know the guy, but he is a friend of a friend. Apparently he had connections with someone at the Khon Kaen medical school. He got a number of implants for just the cost of the hardware. Being a patient for the students to practice on didn't seem to bother him. Apparently everything worked out fine. He is happy and has had no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxout Posted December 1, 2007 Share Posted December 1, 2007 (edited) Dental schools at places like Chulalongkorn do offer implants. However, there's a waiting list and you can never be sure when your treatment will start. Fees are less than private dentists, but at least in the case of implants, not dramatically so.

sleepyjohn Posted December 2, 2007 Share Posted December 2, 2007 I consider the expense of implants unwarranted. That money could change some people's lives. Why does everything have to be so damned perfect? It's not going to kill you. Have the tooth out, the next teeth up will all move down until there's no gap.

samtam Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I had a dental implant at Thantakit Dental Center, (branch in All Seasons Place - Tel: 0-2685 3444*) by Dr Thara Sirikvai. Cost was THB80,000. I checked out Thonglor Dental Clinic too. Dr Thara brought this procedure to Thailand. Apart from better pricing than Thonglor DC, I can highly recommend him. * They also have a clinic on New Petchaburi Road, Tel: 0-2718 0777.

chatette Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 SleepyJohn, You are right that other teeth will close in on the gap. But you omit to say that the teeth alongside the gap are destabilized and over time all of the remaining teeth in your mouth will move response to the loss. In addition to affecting your bite, other consequences can be loss of bone and gum disease that can lead to further loss of teeth. Some people suffer neck and muscular pain because of the destabilization of their teeth affects their jaw line. So there really are sound medical reasons for having implants. II'm also looking at this thread because I'm looking for peoples' experiences in Bangkok because I, too, need an implant and am not sure whether to go to a commercial clinic or govt. clinic.

II'm also looking at this thread because I'm looking for peoples' experiences in Bangkok because I, too, need an implant and am not sure whether to go to a commercial clinic or govt. clinic. I had one implant carried out 2 years ago by Silom Dental Building near Chongnonsi BTS skytrain station. Total cost came to about 65K and required about 5 visits over about 3 months (incl extraction). The cost is not a total package but you pay-as-you-go depending on the exact procedures carried out and I think my final payments came in slightly lower than their original price estimate. I was quite satisfied with their work and have no complaints. All the decisions seemed to have been made with my best interests in mind (e.g timing of procedures). I suspect that the large number of specialists available at this clinic is possible because the dentists serve other clinics as well and circulate around working in many locations. And all the advice I had was to either bridge or implant rather than leave a gap if (financially) possible. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andaman4 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Has anyone had any experience with the Bangkok International Dental Clinic? My brother needs implants and crowns. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dieter1 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 got an implant this week done by my German dentist(in Germany !) . For the implant itself he wanted only 300 Euro/15000 Bht. ! He is specialized for this ( has done hundreds before). He got the material very cheap (big package). 300 Bht is only the implant, you have to pay extra for the crown. (beside : He has to renew one side totally :-(( he made one implant for free ! But the whole shit cost me 1500 Euro, 2500 pays the health insurance ) Just for your information. What can we learn: Thailand is not that cheap ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me guess who suggested all that. Could it have been.......dentists? (ps: once again evolution does the trick.......BTW I think only the teeth above the lost one move.....and mine seem to be solid as a rock. BTW after being told by 2 Thai dentists that I really must hurry to get a backtooth cavity sorted out, one even suggested extraction, I went to see a dentist friend of mine in England. He said John this is what we now call an arrested cavity. Just leave it. Doing anything is more harm then good. I did. Six years later he turns out right it's exactly the same.)

tmwke Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Yes Thailand is not cheap,i am having an implant done in Poland including the crown for approx 50000 Baht. I have had medical treatment at the top Bangkok hospitals and over the last 3 to 4 years the prices have skyrocketed ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilyushin Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 You can find reasonable rates if you look around. I was quoted Baht 30-40K. The two day experience came out to Baht 32,000 and some change with two days in hospital. It took me over a month of really going out and looking for the right place and price. Suggest you do the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimsKnight Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Yeah, I've got a false tooth fitted (denture type, not an implant) as long as you keep wearing a false tooth there won't be any 'slippage' and the space will be even for whenever you decide to get an implant. Ily, I'm very curious to learn of where you got a dental implant that cheap. Yeah Up in Chiang Mai the cheapest (and I've been all over town looking) is 75,000 baht. In the UK it's about 100,000 baht so Polands the way forward pricewise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestro Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 ...lately use Thonglor dental clinic for 2... I used the same clinic last month; had Dr. Sanchai (the receptionist writes it as Sunchai) work on me. He has done my more serious dental work for something like ten years, previously working at a different clinic. I believe he moved to Thonglor only very recently and may at present also still be working at Silom Dental Building. -- Maestro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
